REZZARDAY v. WEST FLORIDA HOSPITAL

MILLS, Judge.

Ms. Rezzarday appeals from a jury verdict in favor of West Florida Hospital on her complaint against it for slander. We affirm.

The basis of Ms. Rezzarday's appeal is that the trial court erred in refusing to admit certain testimony under the "admissions exception" to the hearsay rule. Section 90.803(18), Florida Statutes (1983). However, Ms. Rezzarday did not assert this ground for admissibility at trial, and hence the issue was not properly preserved for our review. See Diaz v. Rodriguez, 384 So.2d 906 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980); 3 Fla.Jur.2d, Appellate Review § 92 (1978).

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

ERVIN, C.J., and ZEHMER, J., concur.
